Preventing Violence in the Workplace
Develop strategies to prevent workplace violence
Part of the compliance library: free for every employee at any company size.
Who it is for
Managers, supervisors, and safety leads responsible for team wellbeing, plus any employee who may witness concerning behavior. Relevant across office, retail, healthcare, and field settings.
What you will learn
- Recognize early warning signs of escalating behavior before it becomes a physical threat
- Respond to threats, intimidation, and concerning behavior using a clear reporting and escalation path
- Contribute to a prevention program that includes access controls, reporting culture, and threat assessment
- Take reasonable steps during and immediately after an incident to keep people safe
What changes on the job
- Concerning behavior reported and escalated instead of ignored or rationalized
- A team that knows the warning signs and the reporting path
- Faster, calmer response if a situation does escalate
This course is one part of the mix. The same topic runs as a live workshop where a facilitator who has held the role watches you practice, and Coach Taylor follows up afterward.
Talk to ARIA
Ask what you would ask us.
ARIA works the way a good first call works. She asks who is involved and what should change, recommends the closest starting point, quotes the real price, and hands you to a person when you want one.

Questions
Questions about this course.
Is this about active-shooter response specifically?
It takes a broader prevention view: recognizing and defusing escalation, threats, and concerning behavior early. Physical-emergency response is one part, but the emphasis is on prevention and reporting.
How long does it take?
About 20 minutes, self-paced. It is often assigned as part of a workplace-safety refresh.
Does this apply to us if we have never had an incident?
Yes. The value is in building a reporting culture and recognition skills before anything happens, which is when prevention is actually possible.
